Baby Steps, Motivation, & Retirement Dear Dave, I make $38,000 a year working in the trade show industry, and I’m about to start Baby Step 3. It took 14 months to pay off $8,000 in debt for Baby Step 2, so I’m wondering how long it should take to save up my three to six months of expenses. I’ve also not done a lot toward retirement. I’m 52, and I’m worried about that. How can I stay motivated in the Baby Steps and handle retirement worries? Donna Dear Donna, The general time frame I look at for saving up a fully funded emergency fund is six months to a year. Your take-home pay should be about $3,000 a month, so three to six months of expenses will probably be in the neighborhood of $8,000 to $10,000. If it took you about a year to pay off that much in debt, then it should take about a year to accomplish this. But if you start building retirement right now and have an emergency, you know what you’ll use? You’ll use your retirement. That’s why the emergency fund comes before retirement in the Baby Steps. The average household income in America, which is often two incomes, is around $52,000. I would challenge you to think about and work toward what you could be doing at age 60 that will make you that much or even more. You’re probably working really hard for that $38,000. In your fifties, if you’re starting over — or if you start making a lot more — we call that an “encore career.” So I want you to start thinking fresh again. Don’t quit today, but you’re going to be making $38,000 eight years from now unless you start aiming at something else. All this is as much an answer to your retirement fears as trying to leapfrog and start doing retirement without an emergency fund. Put your emergency fund in place over the next 12 months, and start doing 6 JUNE 24, 2016

some goal setting and thinking. Maybe you’d like to own a trade show or events company by that time. Ask yourself, “What would I do if I could do anything?” Because you know what? You can do anything! — Dave

Generosity or Overspending? Dear Dave I’ve heard you talk about the importance of giving using the phrase “outrageous generosity.” But at what point does outrageous generosity become foolish overspending? Josiah Dear Josiah, This is a good question. Your first mandate is to take care of your own household. The Bible says if you don’t do this, you’re worse than an unbeliever. So start with your own family. Are you able to take care of the basic lifestyle and needs of your family? The pursuit of giving shouldn’t interrupt the food on your own family’s table. The Bible also says in the house of the wise there are stores of choice food and oil, but a foolish man devours all he has. You need to be saving, too, in order to be biblically wise. If you spend everything you make, or, for that matter, if you gave away everything you make on an ongoing basis, it would be foolish. There are individual times where people may be called to give in an extreme way, but I’m talking about a pattern of living or way of life over an extended period of time. If you just say you’re going to give away your whole income and let the government support you at the expense of your family, that’s not biblical. And it’s not a wise way to live your life.. —Dave VOL. 21 ISSUE 1045

Texas Adds 171,800 Jobs Over the Past Year

TRANSPORTATION Strengthening LIVES Through the

Unemployment rate remained unchanged at 4.4 percent AUSTIN - Texas has added an estimated 171,800 seasonally adjusted jobs over the past year with the additionof 200 nonfarm jobs in May. The state has added jobs in 13 of the last 14 months. Texas’ seasonally adjusted unemployment rate remained unchanged at 4.4 percent in May, which is below the national average of 4.7 percent.

“Texas Workforce Solutions continues to offer market aligned services to advance local job creation efforts,” said Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) Chairman Andres Alcantar. “We must continue to build and support partnerships that connect employers to workers efficiently and equip job seekers with skills that help them succeed.” Employment increased in the Financial Activities industry by 4,800 jobs in May. Education and Health Services jobs continued to be in demand with the addition of 3,700 positions and having added jobs in 39 of the last 40 months. Over the year, this industry has gained 61,900 jobs. “Connecting employers with the workforce they need is critical to our state’s success,” said TWC Commissioner Representing Employers Ruth R. Hughs. “I encourage all of our employers to take advantage of the programs we offer through the Skills Development Fund to help them create jobs and train workers with the skills needed for today’s job market.” The Amarillo Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) recorded the month’s lowest unemployment rate among Texas MSAs with a non-seasonally adjusted rate of 2.8 percent, followed by the Austin-Round Rock and Lubbock MSAs with rates of 2.9 and 3.1 percent, respectively, in May. “Texas’ labor force is the backbone of the Texas economy. It is made up of hard-working individuals who are eager to obtain the skills that our employers need,” said TWC Commissioner Representing Labor Julian Alvarez. “For individuals who need assistance connecting with that perfect career opportunity, I encourage our labor force to tap into TWC’s training resources like our apprenticeship training program that can help prepare them for a good-paying career.” Audio downloads with comments from Commissioner Alvarez on the latest labor market data are available on the TWC website press release page. Employment estimates released by TWC are produced in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics. All estimates are subject to revision.

Resume Writing When You’re

Over 40 by Robin Ryan, Bestselling Author of Over 40 And You’re Hired

John wrote to say he was concerned

that no one was noticing his resume. He had just turned 48 years old ago and hadn’t searched for a job since he was in his late 30’s. He asked for resume writing help since he assumed that things may have changed. Being over 40 does have a significant effect on your resume. Whether you are looking to move up inside the company you are with or seeking a new job somewhere else, many candidates make numerous errors on creating their resume. Many resumes of people over-40 are downright terrible. Most people simply “update” it keeping lengthy job descriptions from 20 years ago. No employer wants a 5 page resume. Angela Oakley, a HR Recruiter of professionals and managers says, “Today, two pages are the maximum. I won’t glance at anything longer than that and neither will other recruiters.” Many people dust off an old resume and do not put in the hours necessary to create an effective resume that advertises their accomplishments. You have only 15 -20 seconds to capture an employer’s interest when they look at your resume. It must be impressive or you’ll get passed by. Here are some key tips to improve your resume: Be TARGETED

Your resume must be targeted for2016 the job you are applying for. JUNE 24,

Emphasize the skills to perform that specific job. If you choose to be broad and generic in your approach, you simply won’t get noticed. Sell your assets Focus on Results!!! Hiring Managers want to know all about your accomplishments. Resumes that get interviews clearly demonstrate this one important message. Actions = Results. Employers look for progressive success – and delivery of results. Accomplishments and results should be stressed. In today’s competitive marketplace, noting results that highlight your past actions and the results you’ve achieved on the job are the essential to get noticed. If you did something that saved employee time, money or created or improved a process or system, employers need to know about it. Must-use resume secret employers love When I did a national survey of 600 hiring managers, the overwhelming majority said the most important part of a resume is the Summary of Qualifications section. This is a high-impact section. Employers reported that this was one of the very first areas they read. And if the briefly stated summary demonstrates solid ability to fill the advertised job, it catches their

attention and they slow down and give the applicant more careful consideration. Hiring managers also reported only about 5% of resumes sent out by those over 40 contain this key section. Think of it a highly influential summation of the specifics you bring to the job. This section usually consists of four to six sentences that present an overview of your experience, accomplishments, talents, work habits and skills. AVOID….. No text boxes, no shading, no color ink, no designs or lines across or around the page and no tables. Most of employment software employers use cannot read these things leaving them as blank space. Employers HATE typos and spelling mistakes, so get a friend to help you proof your resume to put your best advertisement out there.

3 Tips to Put

JOB SEARCH REJECTION into Perspective by Kevin Kermes

Don’t think this is a “lemons into lem- 2. They May Not Know onade” blog about rejection. It’s the furthest thing from it. You know those gut feelings you get about people — good or bad? Do you Let me start by telling you what you al- really need to know why you feel that ready know: Rejection sucks. Rejection way? No — you’ve learned over the in the job search process, be it the first years to trust your instincts. The hiring interview or final, is the pits. Period. End. process is no different. What adds insult to injury is that which passes for feedback — the “advice” you’re given as you discover you didn’t get the job. This, my friend, is what I want to tackle today. Because I see how much effort, energy and emotion is often put towards the words and ideas passed off as “helpful information” once your ride on the interview train has ended. And, frankly, it’s often wasted energy that detracts you from moving down the path to your goal: finding the right job.

You may be a perfect fit for a role but another candidate moves forward in the process (or even gets the job) because the hiring manager just felt more comfortable with them. In the job search business, when asking clients to describe the common thread shared by everyone on their team, most would respond with something along the lines of, “I can’t tell you what it is, but I know it when I see it.”

3. A Choice FOR Someone Else Isn’t Always a Choice Here are 3 tips to keep in mind when AGAINST You someone gives you feedback about

why you didn’t get the job:

This is really important to remember. When someone else is selected, it 1. Don’t Assume You’re Being doesn’t mean a conscious choice was Told the Truth made against you. The natural place for any of us to go after being rejected I use the dating analogy often when is to what we could have done differtalking about the hiring process. Re- ently. This is all you can control, but it member what it was like to split up with could have nothing to do with why you someone? “It’s not you; it’s me.” didn’t get hired. The reality is that often saying the truth Is All of This Unscientific and can be as uncomfortable as hearing Largely Beyond Your Control? it… and many people will avoid that at all costs. In addition, in our uber-legal, highly litigious society, there can be a Absolutely! The hiring process is a sum reluctance to share the truth for fear of of its parts: people. And we are a quirky bunch. Put us all together and try to get liability. JUNE 24, 2016 44

consensus among a diverse group of people — it’s a wonder any decisions get made at all. Trying to apply rationale and logic to something as speculative and nuancedriven as the hiring process can, simply put, drive you insane. On top of that, you are emotionally in the thick of things. Being objective isn’t only an unreasonable expectation for you to have for yourself; it’s largely impossible.

So… What to Do? Instead of reflecting on and dissecting what you’re told (if anything) after an interview, I want you to do two things: First, capitalize on the opportunity presented. Second, reflect on whether you were the truest representation of yourself in the interview. If you were, and you didn’t get the job, then it wasn’t the right fit for you. As much as you have your eyes on the prize (a.k.a. the job) during an interview, sometimes not winning is a blessing in disguise. The downside to getting hired for something you aren’t can be even more devastating in the long run than it is frustrating to be rejected in the job search.

EMPLOYMENT INTERVIEWING: SEIZING THE OPPORTUNITY & THE JOB IL 2016 ED BY ELKA TORPEY) | APR BY OLIVIA CROSBY (UPDAT

For many people, job interviews are the most stressful part of any employment search. But they don’t have to be. Employment interviews are an opportunity to show you’re an enthusiastic worker who would do a job well. You can make the most of that opportunity by being prepared, presenting a professional demeanor, and describing your qualifications well. There are many types of employment interviews, and each may have a different purpose. Screening interviews, for example, are designed to whittle the applicant pool. Group or panel interviews yield multiple perspectives from a single meeting. And telephone and videoconferencing interviews help employers find the best prospects before investing time and effort in a face to face interview. Regardless of the purpose of your interview, you’re more likely to do well if you first learn some basic interviewing skills. Read on for advice about what to do during, and after a job interview. 24,before, 2016 46 JUNE

Researching, practicing, and dressing appropriately are the first steps to making the most of a job interview. RESEARCH. Learning about the company and the position for which you are being interviewed is essential—and it will help you to show employers that you are really interested. Before arriving for an interview, you should know what the company does and any recent changes it has undergone. Learn about the company’s mission and goals. With these in mind, you can show during the interview how your qualifications match the company’s needs. The company itself is often the easiest place to start your research. Many businesses have information on their websites that’s tailored to job seekers. But don’t stop there: In-depth research is important. Read news publications, trade journals, and other sources of information to learn more about the company. Employment and social media sites, especially those related to business networking, may have more specific information about the company’s culture. For example, current and former employees may post reviews of the employer or offer details about questions they were asked during a job interview. PRACTICE. Another important step in preparing for a job interview is to practice describing your professional characteristics. Think of examples from past jobs, schoolwork, and activities to illustrate important skills. Recalling accomplishments beforehand, when you are not being evaluated, helps you to give solid answers during the interview. Every interview is different, and it’s always possible there will be questions that surprise you. Nevertheless, interviewers suggest rehearsing with a career counselor or a friend to build confidence and poise. As a starting point, try answering these questions aloud: VOL. 21 ISSUE 1045

-What are your strengths and weaknesses? -Can you tell me about a time you dealt with conflict as part of a team? -Why did you leave, or are you leaving, your job? -What are your goals? -Why should we hire you?

Each question allows you to illustrate your favorable characteristics. When responding, focus on subjects related to the job. For example, if asked to describe yourself, talk about your professional characteristics and background, not your personal life. Some questions, such as those about hobbies or interests, may seem irrelevant. Interviewers ask these types of questions to learn about your personality and test your interpersonal skills. These questions also let you highlight some of your other strengths. Participating in a sport might demonstrate teamwork, for example. And ability in a craft, such as jewelry making, might show your attention to detail. Whatever the question, emphasize the positive. If there is a weakness evident on your résumé or transcript, such as being fired from a job or receiving poor grades, rehearse an explanation before the interview in case you are asked about them. Focus on what you learned from the experience, and be careful never to criticize a previous employer or coworker.

call waiting on the day of the interview; you don’t want to put the interviewer on hold, and persistent call waiting beeps may distract you. For video conference interviews, make sure that the Web camera is angled correctly and that the surrounding area is neat. NERVOUSNESS. It’s natural to feel nervous when interviewing. But remember: You have skills the employer needs. The interview is your chance to show how those skills would be a good fit for the job. To reduce nervousness, interviewers recommend getting a good night’s sleep and maintaining your usual morning routine. If you never eat breakfast, for example, don’t eat a hearty morning meal on interview day. They also recommend putting yourself in a positive mindset before the interview by calling to mind some of your happiest memories or proudest moments. And they remind job seekers that each opening you interview for is not the only one that exists. There are openings with other companies that might be a better fit. Every interview is an opportunity to practice getting more comfortable talking about yourself. FIRST IMPRESSIONS. An in-person interview begins the moment you arrive. Everyone you meet, from the receptionist to the hiring manager, will form an impression of you. To ensure the impression is positive, remember that your words and mannerisms affect how others perceive you. -When greeting people, smile and shake hands. -Make eye contact and maintain good posture.

LOOK PROFESSIONAL. Dress for an interview as you would for an important day on the job, such as a meeting with a supervisor or a presentation to a client. Don’t let your appearance distract the interviewer from your qualifications. Keep your hair neat, and cover any tattoos or piercings, if possible. Avoid cologne and perfume, large pieces of jewelry, and heavy or unnatural makeup. Clothes should be clean, ironed, and fit well. And shoes should be polished and closed-toe. Many employers expect job seekers to wear a suit—preferably one in a conservative color such as navy blue, gray, or black—but not all do. A company with an informal dress code might be fine with your wearing a button-down shirt and dress slacks. If you’re not sure about what to wear, dressing up is more prudent than dressing down. SHOWTIME On the day of the interview, give yourself plenty of time to get ready for and travel to the interview. Plan to arrive 10 to 15 minutes early. (Some career counselors suggest making a test run to the interview site in advance to familiarize yourself with the travel route.) Consider carrying a folder or briefcase to the interview so you have access to things you’ll want while you’re there. These include a pen and paper to record important information, such as the proper spelling of the interviewer’s name and the time and date of follow up interviews; copies of your résumé or application and references; and examples of your work, such as writing samples. Similarly, have these items within easy reach for interviews conducted over the phone or through video conference. For phone interviews, consider disabling VOL. 21 ISSUE 1045

-Don’t use slang or give curt, one-word answers. -Don’t chew gum, bite your nails, or use your phone.

Making a positive impression is just as important when you interview remotely. Remember to speak clearly and listen attentively, just as you would if you were meeting with the interviewer in person. Even if no one can see you, your voice betrays attitudes and confidence; sometimes, sitting up straight helps to project enthusiasm. Standard politeness is important in an interview because the interviewer knows little about you. For example, don’t presume that you should use your interviewer’s first name just because the company atmosphere is relaxed.

RESPONDING TO QUESTIONS. After introductions, the interviewer may explain the job in more detail, discuss the company, or initiate friendly conversation. The interviewer will then ask questions to gauge how well you would fill the position. When responding to the interviewer, avoid vague answers, such as, “I want to work with people” (or animals, or cars, or whatever the job entails). Instead, describe the specific ways you want to work with them, perhaps by giving examples of how you have successfully done so in the past. Focus on your strengths, but be honest. Let the interviewer direct the session. He or she may use your resume as a guide and ask for additional details. Listen attentively, and answer each question completely. Pay attention to the interviewer’s mannerisms for clues about whether to elaborate or to keep your responses short. Some job-seekers are so focused on specific answers that they forget to relax JUNE 24, 2016 47

and connect with the interviewer. An interview should be conversational. However, that doesn’t mean you’re expected to speak without pause. Stop to consider an answer before responding to difficult or unexpected questions. And if a question is confusing, ask for clarification. In a group or panel interview, try to engage the whole group. When interviewing with other candidates for a job, take initiative in responding to questions—but be careful not to dominate the discussion. TURNING THE TABLES. At some point, usually toward the end of the interview, you will have the opportunity to ask your own questions. Use this time to learn more about the position—and, often, the person who would be your boss. After all, you’re also deciding whether you want the job. QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT WANT TO ASK INCLUDE: -What do you expect me to accomplish in my first 6 months? -Can you describe a typical assignment for this position? -What kind of employee training do you provide? -Will this position lead to advancement opportunities? -What do you like most about working for this company?

An interview is not the time to inquire about salary or benefits; the best time to discuss those topics is after you have been offered the job. You don’t want to seem more interested in financial rewards than in contributing to the company. If asked about salary requirements, try to convey flexibility. Before leaving the interview, make sure you understand the next step in the hiring process. Find out whether there will be another round of interviews, whether you should provide additional information, and when a hiring decision will be made. And remember to thank the interviewer at the end of the interview. FOLLOWING UP Even after the interview is over, an important task remains: Secure a good impression by sending a thank you letter to the interviewer, preferably within 2 days. Thank you letters should be brief—a few paragraphs if emailed, less than one page if typed or handwritten. Thank the interviewer for the opportunity, briefly reiterate your skills, and confirm your enthusiasm for the job. Address the letter to the person who interviewed you, and make sure to spell his or her name correctly. If a group interviewed you, write either to each person you spoke with or to the person who led and coordinated the interview, mentioning the other people you met. Be sure to proofread the letter, and ask someone else to proofread it, too. If you don’t hear back within the time frame the interviewer specified, call or email to check on your status. Making that extra effort could mean the difference in getting the job—or not. JOB FAIRS: SO MANY COMPANIES, SO LITTLE TIME Job fairs offer an opportunity for face-to-face meetings between job-seekers and employers. Visiting these fairs is often an easy way to find good job leads. Many employers attending are there to hire workers, after all. And you can talk to recruiters, browse brochures, and distribute your résumé.

JUNE 24, 2016

Making a good impression at a job fair may give your résumé or application added weight. The following tips can help you make the most of any fair. FIND THE FAIR. Career centers, associations, state and local governments, and private companies organize job fairs. Find fairs in your area by searching online, asking a career counselor, reviewing business postings at your school or local library, or checking the newspaper employment section. READY YOUR RÉSUMÉ. Before attending a fair, you should prepare a résumé. Bring several copies to the fair. Leave at least one with every company that seems promising. A résumé lists your name, contact information, education, and experience, both paid and unpaid. It emphasizes accomplishments and skills. Most résumés for entry-level jobs are one page. LOOK THE PART. A job fair is like a series of mini-interviews, with recruiters forming impressions of the people they meet. You might not need to wear a suit, but too casual clothes could be a strike against you. Clothes that are too short, too tight, too worn, or too playful are particularly risky. Similarly, be aware of your body language. Standing up straight and looking recruiters in the eye when talking to them, for example, projects confidence and may help to create a more positive rapport. GO ALONE. You’ll get the most out of a job fair—and make a better impression—if you attend solo. If you plan to go with a friend, don’t appear to be inseparable when visiting booths. A professional image is easier to maintain if you speak to employers alone. PLOT A STRATEGY. A few days before the fair, ask for a list of participating companies. Then, rank companies you’d like to visit so you can make the best use of your time. When you arrive on the day of the fair, take a quick walk through the venue. Locate the company representatives you want to meet, and plan your route for the event. Time is limited, and booths are crowded. Save visits with the best prospects until after you’ve warmed up with a few other prospective employers. COMPLETE APPLICATIONS FLAWLESSLY. If a company distributes application forms, take two; one will be a rough draft. And if you complete an application online or bring one home to send later, consider noting that you met the recruiter at the fair. MASTER THE MINI-INTERVIEW. Every time you speak with an employer, no matter how briefly or how boisterous the atmosphere, consider it an interview. Recruiters will expect you to introduce yourself, shake hands confidently, answer questions about your coursework or experience, and have an idea of the type of job you want. Finding out about the company is equally important. You might ask what the hiring process is like or what jobs are available for people with your education. Before you leave the booth, be sure to ask for the recruiter’s business card—and thank him or her for taking time to talk with you. TAKE NOTES. After visiting several booths, it’s easy for conversations to run together. After each visit, take a few notes to read at home. STAY ORGANIZED. Fairgoers are deluged with information—company literature, recruiters’ business cards, and their own notes. Bring a folder or backpack to keep materials organized. Counselors suggest going through this information while your memory is still fresh. APPLY IN ABSENTIA. If you cannot attend the job fair, contact the sponsoring organization. You may be able to submit your résumés to participating employers before or after the fair. VOL. 21 ISSUE 1045

Fashion and work - what an uncomfortable combination this seems to be. Instead of enhancing our credibility in the workplace, all too often our workplace attire can raise questions around our confidence and jeopardise our professional reputation. This article explores some common office style sins and offers practical tips on how you can use your clothes to make a positive impact.

The office is home to a multitude of fashion disasters. It’s ironic that in the place where we want to make the best impression, we commit the most style sins. Here are just three classic office fashion faux pas to set the scene:

So, you’ve avoided the style sins. What’s next? There are lots of simple ways to enhance your credibility with your attire. Image consultants talk endlessly about well tailored suits, advising you to buy the best you can afford. For those of us with neither an impressive salary nor a personal shopper on speed dial, this provides little comfort. But all is not lost. For those of you climbing the corporate career ladder, following a few simple rules can help you to pull off a polished, professional appearance without splashing out on designer brands.

BUY CLOTHES THAT FIT Figure swamping jackets, frayed floor sweeping trousers, bursting shirt buttons and tightly stretched skirts all accentuate the lower quality tailoring of budget office wear. The first step to fooling your colleagues into believing your outfit is more designer and less supermarket chic, is choosing shapes that suit your figure and fit perfectly.

BE COLORFUL - DON’T PUT YOUR PERSONALITY ON MUTE Slipping into a bland, old fashioned, work “uniform” every day will not exactly fill you with enthusiasm for the day ahead. Work wear is necessarily restrained compared to our after-hours style, but there is a balance to be found. By adding a few colorful, personal touches to your work wardrobe, your confidence will boom and your personality will shine. If you love vivid pinks, why not wear a bold fuchsia shirt. Or if orange brings a spring to your step, why not accessorize with a brightly colored scarf?

Men’s Croft & Barrow® Soft Touch Leather Belt $28.00

A nicely accessorised outfit speaks volumes about your attention to detail, creativity and confidence. It can instantly upgrade an outfit and make you feel like a million dollars. Wear a statement belt rather than leaving exposed belt loops. Add a bold (but appropriate) necklace to breathe excitement into a simple outfit. Or maybe invest in some sophisticated cuff links to add class to your shirt. These small touches communicate someone who cares, adding an air of perfection and polish.

STAND TALL Work presents us with many challenges. When you need to assertively face these situations head on, good posture and a pair of heels will give you the extra boost you need. A modest heel and your head held high will add sparkle into your work wardrobe and a self-assured confidence to your stance. However, the most important thing comes last. And that is to smile - the ultimate accessory to finish a professional image.
